Grey squirrels are masters of stealth, but their presence leaves tell-tale signs. Recognising these early can prevent extensive loft damage squirrels cause:

• Persistent Noises: Scratching, scuttling, or chattering sounds, particularly at dawn and dusk, emanating from your loft, walls, or ceiling space.
• Gnaw Marks: Visible damage to wooden beams, fascia boards, pipework, or electrical cables. This gnawing is a significant fire risk.
• Shredded Insulation: Squirrels rip up insulation to create dreys (nests), leading to reduced energy efficiency and potential contamination.
• Droppings: Small, dark droppings similar to rat droppings, but often found in more scattered locations.
• Entry Points: Gaps, holes, or chew marks around rooflines, vents, fascias, or eaves, indicating how squirrels enter your property.

Our approach to squirrel control Newhaven is thorough, humane, and designed for lasting results, from initial assessment to final proofing:

1. Detailed Property Inspection: Our expert technicians conduct a meticulous survey of your Newhaven property to confirm the presence of grey squirrels, identify their entry points, assess the extent of the infestation, and pinpoint any damage caused.
2. Humane Squirrel Removal: We employ effective, humane squirrel pest control methods, typically involving trapping. It is important to note that due to their classification as an invasive species (Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981), captured grey squirrels cannot be legally released back into the wild. We adhere strictly to all UK wildlife laws.
3. Expert Squirrel Proofing: Once squirrels are removed, our team focuses on preventative measures. We identify and seal all potential access points using robust, durable materials. This crucial squirrel proofing Newhaven service prevents future re-entry, protecting your investment long-term.
4. Damage Remediation: Should squirrels have caused significant damage, we offer comprehensive services including loft sanitisation, removal of contaminated insulation, professional cleaning and disinfection of the affected areas, and installation of fresh, high-quality insulation. This addresses health risks and restores your loft space.
